“Yes, I did it! But it wasn’t my fault.” An odd young woman finds herself before an audience. Her knees are bruised and there’s blood on her hands. She set out to solve a crime and ended up committing one of her own. Awkward, frail, beautiful powerhouse, this macabre comedy is her defense.

OH MY IRMA was translated into German by Neele Von Müller (represented by Theaterstückverlag) and will be translated into French by Marie-Claire Marcotte at the The Glassco Playwrights' Residency in Tadoussac, Québec.
